Bolgiano's "Best In Garden" Varieties 



California Wonder Pepper 



70. Princess Juliana Spinach. 



Holland is the home of Spinach and this, the finest 

 variety of spinach yet introduced, was named in 

 honor of Princess Juliana, the daughter of Holland's 

 famous queen. The Princess Juliana is of the long 

 season type with large, erumiiled, rich, dark green 

 leaves. It is valuable for either Spring or Autumn 

 planting. It is absolutely without male plants which 

 is the cause of its standing so long without shooting 

 to seed. We believe that Princess Juliana Spinach 

 will become the most popular variety on the market, 

 not only for its rapid, uniform growth, and delicious 

 and temijting flavor, but also because it remains in 

 prime condition longer before bolting to seed than 

 any other sort. Pkt. 10 cts. ; oz. 15 cts. ; ^4 lb. 

 20 cts.; lb. 45 cts., postpaid; 10 lbs., 30 cts. lb.; 25 

 lbs., 25c lb.; 100 lbs., 18 cts. lb., not postpaid. 



328. California Wonder Pepper 



A new pepper of real merit. It's nearly as large and earlier than Chinese 

 Giant, but is blocky or square ended. It is especially free from roughness. 

 It's pretty as a picture. Just the ideal shape. It will sit upright and is per- 

 fect to stuff and bake or to serve whole with salad. Its walls are exception- 

 ally thick, heavier and firmer than any other sort. The flesh is deliciously 

 sweet and spicy with no bite to it. The bright attractive green when young 

 changes to a brilliant light crimson as they mature. Full grown peppers 

 commonly have a breadth of 4 inches and a length of 4^-i inches, weighing 

 as much as a full pound. The plants are slightly spreading, sturdy and pro- 

 ductive, bearing from 5 to 9 large fruits to a setting. For the home gardener, 

 market gardener and shipper, this is the ideal pepper. Give it a trial. Pkt. 

 10 cts.; oz. 55 cts.; '/4 lb, $1.90; lb. $7.00. 



585. Bolgiano's Best Yet Wax Bean. Absolutely stringiess. 



An instant success with all who have grown it. Although one of the newest 



members of the bean tribe, Bolgiano's Best Yet ias already attained a high 



place among the wax-podded sorts. The rich 



lemon yellow flat pods grow in large numbers 



on the erect and bushy plant. No garden will 



be complete without them. Pkt. 10c; pt., 4.5c; 



qt., 80c, postpaid; pk., $3.70; bu., $13.80, not

IrreenpOd Beans. This superior bean has 



been carefully selected and grown to satisfy the most 

 critical grower. The long, round, fleshy pods, 5 to C 

 inches long, are brittle and tender. Delicious flavor, ab- 

 solutely stringiess. Produce big crops of perfect green 

 pod beans. It is indeed a great pleasure to offer you 

 this wonderful bean. We know it will please you. Let

117. Bolgiano's New Early Cab- 



UdgC. jjas gained its present pre-eminence among 

 vegetables through merit alone. We would not wish 

 you to think it the earliest cabbage off'ered, for in 

 season it follows the Wakefields. It is in production and 

 quality, however, that we find it excelling other market 

 varieties. The immense hearts develop with remarkable 

 rapidity and are noticeable for the very small growth 

 of outer spreading leaves, making it possible to grow 

 more New Earlies to the acre than other more spreadin.g 

 sorts. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; % lb., 90c; lb., $3.25, post- 

 paid. 



79. Bolgiano's No. 2 Scarlet 



fi-lnVlO T??)!^!^!! Is t^<^ ^^'^y ti«^st '" every 

 \T1UUC XVdUX&U. ^ay It is handsome in form 

 and color, beautiful oval and rich scarlet. The 

 amount of its foliage is small, compared with other 

 varieties, and small for the size of the radish. The 

 peculiar merit of this variety as a forcing radish is 

 that it will bear the heat requisite for forcing with- 

 out becoming pithy or spongy. The flesh is tender, 

 juicy and mild. It is equally as good for open garden 

 as for forcing, and therefore it commends itself 

 equally to the amateur and market gardener. Pkt. 

 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; % lb. 25 cts.; lb. 85 cts. 



222. Early Rubicon Carrot. 



A half long orange, stumi>-rooted carrot, of a beauti- 

 ful, deep- red orange color. It is earlier than Dan- 

 ver's, about the same length, but heavier and thicker 

 at the shoulder, making it more productive. It is a 

 wonderfully heavy cropper, producing 3 to 4 tons to 

 the acre under good culture. Pkt. 10 cts. ; oz., 15 

 cts.; 1^ lb., 35 cts.; lb., $1.25. 



Bolgiano's Best Yet 

 Wax Beans 



Italian Green Sprouting Broccoli 



235. Broccoli Italian Green Sprouting 

 Or Early Green Calabrese 



Rapid Growing. Produces a large head at center of plant in about ninety days from date 

 of planting. Resembles cauliflower only in shape or formation as the color is dull bluish 

 green. After the center head is removed, the plant produces many branches, each bearing 

 smaller terminals and lateral heads which are as fully desirable as the first heads produced. 

 If these heads are gathered as soon as they become large enough for use, the plant will con- 

 tinue to produce for a period of from eight to ten weeks. If served in the same v/ay as 

 asparagus makes a very tasty dish fully equal to cauliflower. Sow in the Spring, Summer 

 or Fall and cultivate same as cauliflower. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; y^ lb. 75 cts.; lb. 

 $2.50, postpaid.
